An elderly woman pedestrian is reportedly "seriously injured" after she was in a collision with a bus at a crossing outside Sainsbury's.

Market Street in Huddersfield town centre was closed after the 80-year-old victim was knocked over by a Yorkshire Tiger service travelling in front of the supermarket at about noon.

A witness told ExaminerLive the pensioner appeared to think the road was clear and stepped onto the road at the pedestrian crossing in front of the main entrance, at the junction of Dundas Street, as the bright orange single decker travelled towards her.

The witness said the woman took a "glancing blow" rather than being hit head on by the front of the vehicle.

She was treated by first aiders from Sainsbury's and Yorkshire Ambulance Service arrived quickly and she was taken to hospital.

Staff from Sainsbury's were also involved in directing traffic away from the area for a time.
